Stockport market report SK1
The standing SK1 (Stockport) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,859 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SK1 (Stockport) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to July 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 67 registered 2026 sales put the SK1 (Stockport) median at £211,500, up 32% on five years earlier, with a mean of £218,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,760 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,859 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SK1 is a postcode district covering Stockport in Stockport. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

What buyers actually paid in SK1
67 sales were registered in SK1 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £211,500. The mean works out at £218,500, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
Price per square metre in SK1
Per square metre, SK1 homes have averaged around £2,760 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SK1 trades 26% below the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £39,000 | £82,249 | 202 |
| 1995 | £38,200 | £83,041 | 148 |
In cash terms the typical SK1 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £211,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 155%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 3% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SK1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+29.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 55% of the typed total. In 2007, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £367,500 against £125,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.7% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in SK1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 144 SK1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 301 sales a year before the financial crisis and 182 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the SK1 market
This is a thin market: 144 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. SK1 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.
Rents around SK1
For renting purposes SK1 sits in Stockport. The ONS average private rent there is £1,100 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £798 a month here against £1,719 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stockport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £211,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,100 a month (£13,200 a year) works out at a 6.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in SK: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SK area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £330,000 | £474,050 (+44%) | £712,500 (+50%) | £1,000,000 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
